░░ True champions are measured by their performance in moments of
░░ uncertainty. While they suffer occasional mishaps during the flow of the
░░ game, the truest warriors find ways to win when their team needs them the
░░ most. Enter K-Beta, and his new album, Inglorious Beta, an intense
░░ autobiographical portrait with pain, anger, fury and urgency painted on
░░ its multifaceted canvas. By the conclusion of this 70-minute album, a
░░ marathon by todayÆs musical standards, Beta proves he belongs in the
░░ pantheon of lifeÆs clutch players. Without question, listeners get a
░░ stronger sense of the man behind the music ù the critical thinker, the
░░ activist, and the analyst.
░░
░░ K-Beta, a native of Centreville, VA, is a relative newcomer to the
░░ hip-hop scene, having launched his career in 2004. Two years later, he
░░ released an album ù titled after the ôN-wordöù which introduced the world
░░ to his aggressive, yet passionate lyrical delivery. Last year, Beta
░░ generated a buzz in Washington, DC, Maryland and Virginia with the
░░ release of his Æ89 to Æ09 mix tape, which saw Beta and others dropping
░░ verses over instrumentals from the past 20 years ù including Young MCÆs
░░ ôBust A Moveö and Dr. DreÆs ôNuthinÆ But A æGÆ Thang,ö among others.
░░ Also, Beta had previously teamed up with Sketch, a fellow DMV native, to
░░ release an album under the name ôBlack Irish.ö As for Inglorious Beta, an
░░ interview clip incorporated into the albumÆs organ heavy intro says it
░░ all. Beta ôcreates for people who are struggling, the have-nots, the
░░ dreamers, [and] the depressed,ö the newscaster says.
░░
░░ In many ways, Inglorious Beta serves as the soundtrack for those
░░ have-nots, dreamers and depressed people. For instance, the
░░ underprivileged can take solace in a song like ôLife of cRhyme,ö produced
░░ by J-Scrilla, which finds Beta reflecting on how his upbringing paved the
░░ way for the person who stands before us. ôHead of the household, what is
░░ you telling me, 25 fresh out the pen with a felony,ö Beta rhymes on the
░░ track. Then thereÆs the heartfelt ôIÆm Bleeding,ö with its gripping drum
░░ programming and guitar riff, where Beta tells the story of a young girl
░░ struggling with an unplanned pregnancy scare. The dreamers will
░░ appreciate the message of ôThat Black Manö and ôOutchea.ö The former song
░░ is an empowering track that touches on black menÆs plight in society,
░░ their dissociation from the slave mentality and how others perceive them.
░░ The latter is about overcoming lifeÆs obstacles and realizing your
░░ dreams.
░░
░░ Inglorious Beta is not completely heavy, however. On ôSmoke With Me,ö
░░ Beta and label mate Laelo Hood trade verses about the effects of
░░ marijuana on their thinking process. The low-key ôDTLR (Down The Line
░░ Rhyme),ö arguably the albumÆs centerpiece, features the prominent DMV
░░ trio of Oddisee, X.O., and yU, otherwise known as ôThe Diamond District.ö
░░ The mid-tempo flow of ôWith The Familyö finds Beta acknowledging how his
░░ family keeps him grounded as he moves up the ladder of success. All told,
░░ K-Beta proves on his new album that he empathizes with the people to
░░ which his music is intended. ôIn order to appreciate where IÆm going and
░░ what IÆm contributing to society now,ö Beta says on the albumÆs intro,
░░ ôitÆs a prerequisite to see where I came from and how I got to this
░░ point.ö In fact, the title Inglorious Beta is completely inaccurate. Only
░░ true champions and glorious individuals have the courage to put their
░░ flaws on full display for the world to see.
